The great thing about Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo, he always has an easy demeanor and knows the pulse of his team.

Lovullo has earned the respect in his clubhouse and rightfully so.

This spring, the Diamondbacks skipper will have a watchful eye as he analyzes his shortstops. He has three capable starters vying for the job.

"'There are some quality players standing at the middle of the diamond and they're going to compete like they did last year," said Lovullo.

The position [shortstop] is deep and one of the best battles in Arizona's spring training. Ketel Marte, Chris Owings and Nick Ahmed all have the skill to lead Arizona up the middle.

"Nobody is the lead dog right now, it’s all a blank canvas in my eyes and they're going to go out and hopefully someone will emerge and be the starting shortstop," said Lovullo.

Owings and Ahmed return after their seasons were cut short last year because of hand injuries. Due to a broken finger, Owings suited up in only 97 games. Ahmed played only 53 games after suffering a pair of fractures to his right hand.
